AYA Muse Program

Every year, I select a handful of “muses” to help me explore new ideas, styles, and directions for my photography portfolio. In return, they get free sessions and extra perks. It’s part creative collaboration and part photo club!

What You Get

  • Four free sessions per year (1 per quarter) as the subject of my creative test shoots.

  • Discounted rates on any additional sessions you book.

  • Special rates for any new clients you refer.

  • Early access to new session types before they’re offered publicly.

  • Truly unique photos.

What I Ask in Return

  • A commitment to showing up for at least 4 sessions per year (dates coordinated in advance).

  • Openness to new ideas, styles, and locations.

  • A signed model release for any images captured.

  • Willingness to give feedback that helps me grow and refine my work.

How to Join

Applications are currently open until Thursday, August 19, 2025 for the following:

  • Everyday Magic // Family photos of their real-life routines: cooking, playing, walking the dog, bedtime stories.

  • Hobbies in Focus // Candids of someone(s) immersed in their craft; whether that’s gardening, music, painting, or gaming.

  • Day of Impact // Looking for an organization with a series of hands-on service or community connection events.

  • Live Learning // Seeking an organization hosting conferences, symposiums, or educational events.

I’ll choose participants based on portfolio needs, availability, and creative fit.
